Interesting spec of Gabi possibly taking off with Ari. If that ends up being true then she obviously doesn't get all that far...and how would that force her to leave the canvas? LK said that Gabi's departure was dramatic so I'm thinking/hoping that whatever happens is a bigger deal than her taking Ari and running. I think Gabi's departure will somehow involve Nick, but have no idea how. With all the guessing going on, I only hope that Days wrote Gabi's exit at least half as interesting as the specs have been but I won't hold my breath.

All Freddie Smith said at his fan event was that Gabi does a bad thing that this lead to her exit and to Will & Sonny gaining Sole custody of Ari. So for one ever reason Gabi's bad thing is the bigger part to this storyline then the outcome of Will & Sonny get sole custody of Ari because of it... I think the reason is there is so much speculation about Gabi new bad thing is the fact of viewers trying to figure out what to the point of costing her daughter that is Gabi actual own doing.
